Scanned fields 

AQG does not hardcode a list of fields. It discovers them from TCA and stores the result in tx_a11y_field_config .

Field discovery 

AQG discovers the fields automatically the first time it needs them: when the backend module or the settings view opens, or when a scan starts, while no field configuration has been stored yet. It inspects TCA and registers:

  • RTE-enabled text fields of tt_content (rendered by CKEditor),
  • file reference fields of tt_content (FAL relations, used by the structured.file_reference_* rules),
  • further structured fields evaluated by the structured.* rules, such as content element headers and form configuration.

The automatic discovery runs once. It never changes a stored configuration, including one in which every field was disabled on purpose.

Run the discovery again with Refresh fields on the Scan fields tab after installing extensions that add RTE or file fields, after changing TCA, and after upgrading AQG to a version that adds new rules.

Enabling and disabling fields 

The Scan fields tab lists all discovered fields grouped by table. For each field you see the table, field name, label and detected type, and a toggle that includes or excludes the field from future scans. Fields are enabled when they are first discovered, so a discovery run turns on newly found fields unless you disable them.

Disabling a field stops AQG from producing new findings for it. Existing findings are not deleted automatically; they disappear after the next scan of the affected pages.
